Go, you chicken fat, go away!

Pu-pu-su challenge

I did my pull-ups first this morning.  I got 4 in.  I didn't think I would be able to do that many with all the weight I've been gaining lately.  We're almost rid of Easter goodies and the leftovers from my brother-in-law's memorial.  (Somebody has to eat it.)

Next I did the sit-ups.  I got 145 in when I started to get the Hershey Squirts.  I finished 5 more for an even 150, then jumped up, and ran to the bathroom.  Luckily I have tight glutes, so I was able to maintain full containment.

Then I did my push-ups.  I only got 20 in.  I think that's less than last week.

Run

After that I went out to do an easy run.  I ran up passed my son's bus stop.  He didn't say anything to me because he knew he was in trouble for taking his scooter.  Then I ran around the Village Loop to the next bus stop.  As I was approaching, one of the kids headed there waved at me.  I asked if he goes to ALA too.  He said yes.  Then he started running and passed me.  So I sped up and told him there was no way he was going to beat me.  (Of course I was just trying to make him run faster.)  He kept going, but I could tell he was tiring out.  All the parents at the bus stop probably freaked  out with me chasing the kid.  LOL!  Actually, I knew them all, so they got a kick out of it.

Can't wait for P90X tonight.  As they say - Bring It!

Day 15 P90X

Chest and Back/Ab Ripper X

The weather is beautiful here.  I think I've been neglecting to take it all in because I haven't been able to enjoy it due to not being able to run fast.  But I'm slowly creeping back.  Did I say creeping?  I must be creepy.

Time - 25:23 (avg. pace 8:27)

Splits - 8:37, 8:28, 8:17

Day 16 P90X

Plyometrics

Oh my goodness.  That gets the heart rate going.  I tweaked my left ankle early on.  I'll see how I feel in the morning and decide whether or not to go for a run.

Marathon Dreamer had a touching story on her run today.  There's a guy that begs for money in the town she lives in.  She found him on his way to his favorite corner and gave him a push.  He enjoyed waving at the people as he passed them.  Luckily I was there to witness it and snap a picture.

Day 17 P90X

Arms and Shoulders/Ab Ripper X

Arms and Shoulders is my favorite.  I guess because I use bands instead of dumbells and it doesn't hurt that much.  But Ab Ripper X hurt. 

Day 18 P90X

Yoga X

I fell asleep on the couch last night, so I didn't do Yoga like I should have.  But I got up this morning and did it.  I'll double it up and do Legs and Back tonight.  I feel great now, but there was a time when I was trying to do the balance postures, and I couldn't.  So I got upset and kicked a box.  Is it bad to lose your cool during a Yoga session?

Did anybody notice there's a new name added to my Blogger's I've met in real life list?  My Bonnie lies over the Sonoran desert.  My Bonnie lies to the south of me.  My Bonnie lies on the campus of the U of A.  Oh bring back my Bonnie to me!

Sweet little Bonnie came to visit my family today.  She's so nice.  I didn't get to talk to her a lot because she and my wife hit it off so well, and you know how women are when they get to talking.  But it was really cool for her to drive a little out of the way just to see us.

Maybe Bonnie's part cactus, and that's why I like her so much.

Check it out!  Bonnie's goofier than me.

 I know most people think Dean is a myth, but I actually met him.  Bonnie just likes to conceal his identity.  I need to get express written consent to post his actual face.  It looks a lot like that one, though.

Day 19 P90X - Arms and Back/Ab Ripper X

My back is sore.  I think it's because of the weeds I was pulling in my yard instead of the workout.

And today is Julianna's birthday.

We let her get tattoos for her gift.
